, Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a rugged, rain forested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific.
Though its capital, San Jose, is home to cultural institutions like the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, Costa Rica
is known for its beaches, volcanoes, and biodiversity. Roughly a quarter of its area is made up of protected
jungle, teeming with wildlife including spider monkeys and quetzal birds.
Costa Rica is known for its sustainable methods and peaceful attitude. The small Central American nation is
consistent by making headlines for its ground-breaking movements to protect the environment, without for-
saking its people’s happiness in the process. Hardly surprising when the country plays host to 6% of all the
world biodiversity and its motto is ‘Pura Vida’ - ‘Pure Life’, used for anything from a thank you, a greeting or
a toast.

, Entry Requirements
Visas
British nationals do not need a visa to enter Costa Rica. You
may stay as a visitor for up to 90 days under a tourist visa
waiver, although the exact period is at the discretion of the
immigration officer on arrival. If you plan to work, or stay for
a longer period, then multiple exit and entry is not an ap-
proved alternative to obtaining the relevant visa for your cir-
cumstances. You should check the requirements with the
Costa Rican authorities.
The immigration authorities are strict about foreigners who
have overstayed. Fines of $100 per month of overstay and
restrictions on return can be applied under local law.
